TRANSIT STUDY: The county manager said that recently he and Chairman Tice attended a
seminarthat presented an overview ofthe 2025 Charlotte -Mecklenburg Integrated Transit/Land-Use
Plan. A $300,000 study will be conducted on Charlotte's north corridor soon. Technical analysis
will be done during the summer and through the winter of 2001. At the seminar, Mashburn and Tice
were told the study could extend into Iredell County, if requested. They were told that federal funds
could be used to fund 80% of the study and 10% could be obtained from the state. The remaining
10% or $30,000 would need to be donated by Iredell County or some of its municipalities.
Mashburn said the Town of Mooresville was interested in the study. He said that along with
rail, a bus system would be reviewed.
REQUEST FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS & NORTH CAROLINA LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THE INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT'S LOCAL GOVERNMENT
WING CAMPAIGN: The county manager said a letter had been received from the presidents of the
NCACC and NCLM asking for financial assistance with the Institute of Government's building
renovation and expansion project. The letter said the General Assembly approved the construction
funding in 1997 and 1998. The Institute still needs $4,000,000 to make the improvements, and a
fund-raising campaign has started. The letter said pledges to the campaign could be made in a one-
time donation or on a three-year period.
It was the consensus of the board members to delete the item from the agenda.
Commissioner Fortner suggested the request be reviewed during the budget sessions.
ADJOURNMENT: At 6:35 p.m., Chairman Tice adjourned the briefing session
